ABSTRACT
Ayurveda, an ancient science of medicine has addressed all aspects of health. Vajikarana is a branch of sexual medicine with the main intent of attaining a healthy progeny. Klaibya in Ayurveda is randomly attributed to infertility. Any defect in the shukravaha srotas (male reproductive system) lead to klaibya. Several of causes are attributed for infertility in the conventional science. Oligospermia is one of the causes for the same, the condition where in sperm count is less than 20 million/cc. Shatavri (Asperagus recimosa) is a potent Vajikarana dravya. To evaluate the efficacy, a clinical study was conducted on Ayurvedic treatment principles.
Materials and Methods: The study protocol was approved by the institutional ethics committee. …show more content…
Diagnosed case of Oligospermia.
2. Only male patient.
3. Age between 25-50 years.
4. Patient fit for Snehana, Swedhana and Basti karma.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients unfit for Snehana, Swedhana and Basti karma.
2. Patients with any systemic disorders that may interfere with the course of trial.
3. Congenital oligospermia, Post-traumatic oligospermia, secondary to infective causes.
4. Patients on mandatory medications that may interact with trial medications.
Lab Investigation: Semen analysis was performed before treatment, after treatment and at the end of follow up to assess the severity and clinical improvement respectively.
Data’s were collected before treatment, after treatment and at the end of follow up.
Intervention: Systemic sampling method was adopted for group A, B and C, Patients no. 1, 2 and 3 respectively were fixed as a starting number and uniform difference of two patients were maintained for each group till the required size of 10 patients for each group was attained.
Group A:
1. Deepana and pachana with shuntiphanta followed by abhyanga (sarvadehika) by bala taila and …show more content…
1. Defective transportation of sperm. 2. Defective spermatogenesis. Defective transportation of sperm is a condition in which the presence of any obstruction in the genito-urinary tract. This can be rectified with the surgical intervention. The other condition, i.e. defective spermatogenesis is medical problem in which the process of spermatogenesis is disturbed; it can be treated with medicine. The present work dealt with defective spermatogenesis only.
Discussion on Laboratory Findings: Both Shatavari ksheera basti and shatavari ghruta are having effect on sperm count and motility group A B C shown significance result at the end of treatment and group C shown high significance at the end of follow up, whereas group A and B shown significant result at the end of follow up
Probable Mode of Action of Asparagus Racemosa: It is one of the Vajikarana herb, and just like Ashwagandha, in men it can readily increase the testosterone, semen count, seminal fructose content, erection indexes, and much more. Shatavari is imbued with phytoecdysteroids which can mimic hormones and sapogenins. Shatavari is the herbal pas de deux to support sexual arousal and ability in
